3 Things to Think About When Buying a Used Truck
If you are buying a truck with resale value in mind, then you’re making a smart long-term financial decision that could pay dividends down the road. Resale values can help to ensure that you get the most out of your used truck – and can help to reduce the purchase price of the used truck when it comes time to sell it.
There are a few things that you should know about resale values before you go to make a used truck purchase. Here they are:
Vehicle History Report
Anytime you buy a used truck, it is important to get a vehicle history report for the truck. A vehicle history report is a basic run-down of services that have been performed on the used truck. For example, if a used truck has experienced water damage and needed to be repaired, that information will be contained in the vehicle history reports.
Anytime you take your used truck in for service, the service technicians will record what services have been performed and link those services to the vehicle’s VIN number. The VIN number – Vehicle Identification Number – is unique for each vehicle and can be found in the dashboard. To make sure you have a high resale value, be sure to limit the amount of services that need to be performed – so limit the damage to your used truck.
Canadian Black Book
Used truck values are kept in the Canadian Black Book. This is a standardized book that compiles value data for all vehicles across the country and breaks values down based on the condition of the used vehicles as well as features and accessories with the vehicle. You’ll need to be familiar with this book when it comes time to resell your used truck.
Trade-in
Many people can save significant money off of the cost of a new car when they trade in their used trucks. Trade-in values are based on Canadian Black Book values and an inspection of the car. Trading a used truck in is an excellent alternative to selling a used truck outright.
Whenever you’re buying a used truck, it is wise to think about the purchase from a practical and financial perspective. By thinking about resale values, you’re clearly well on your way to making a wise financial decision that will benefit you for years to come.

With their aeronautical curves, the trucks designed by Professor Luigi Colani nearly resemble a spaceship. The Berlin native has been working on the development of these futuristic tractor trailers since the 1950s. Inspired by nature, Colani designs the truck bodies in streamline form in order to achieve especially low air resistance values (Cw values) and in turn greatly lower fuel consumption, lending his trucks unique ecological and economical efficiency. For his current model, Glasurit*’s VOC-compliant 68 Line HS 2K CV Topcoat is making a first-class contribution to this efficiency. That’s because the high-quality paint produced by BASF Coatings AG meets the tough requirements the star designer poses for his work materials and the production of his trucks. Friedrich Schramm, the owner of the Schramm vehicle production company, agrees with this 100 percent. He knows his way around the production of the designer trucks. Five years ago Schramm, who works out of the Cologne district of Fuhlingen, received his first job order from Professor Colani. Schramm’s company now owns the exclusive marketing rights for Colani’s best-known semi, the CF 95 DAF model. Every Colani truck is unique and is specially produced according to its particular use. The extraordinary trucks are rarely used as commercial vehicles per se. Instead, the unique tractor trailers are used for marketing purposes. Colani’s trucks transport image and support brands. Their eye catching exterior sets them …
